New York’s Montgomery County FarmBureau held it’s 2011 annual businessmeeting and dinner on Oct. 13 at theFlorida Town Hall.

Legislative policy resolutions wereadopted, financial statements were ap-proved, and members of the County’sboard of directors were elected for theupcoming year.

The keynote speaker for the eveningwas Julie C. Suarez, New York FarmBureau Director of Public Policy.

Concerning the dairy sector in thestate, Suarez commented that in previ-ous years the State had lost processingplants. “Now, just in the past two years,we’ve seen huge investments in thedairy-processing sector of agricultureand that’s business for our farm fami-lies,” Suarez reported. “Our challenge isgoing to be meeting the demands ofthose new processing plants.” Suarezsaid that making sure the dairy sector issupplied with the tools they need to in-crease production meeting the de-mands of the new processing plantswould be a priority.

Suarez also stated that cooperationbetween all members of the farming andcity communities was key to success inagricultural industry. “Nothing that wedo in agriculture is untouched by NewYork City politics. The reality is that ittakes everybody working together — es-pecially with some of our friends in thecity — to help us achieve positiveprogress. We’ve been contacting groups

and people to help push a commonagenda.”

Suarez also talked about the Gover-nor’s ‘Open for Business’ policy andwhat that means. “For us it will proba-bly be spending a lot of time next yearworking on regulatory reforms. Istrongly urge you to pay attention toyour next Grassroots, because when weidentify what mandates we’re workingon, and what regulatory changes wewant; we really want to make sure thatwe’re getting all of the things that kindof drive you guys crazy.” Suarez com-mented on the complaints that shecommonly received from farmers aboutrecording mileage and other regulatoryissues. “One of the things that we al-ways say, is that the more time you haveto spend putting up pieces of paper onyour wall to comply with different man-dates, the less time you have to actual-ly work in your business and work inyour field. Our big push next year willbe renewed effort on trying to capitalizeon all of this effort the Governor is put-ting into this whole concept of New YorkState being open for business, so wecan try to scale back some of the regu-latory burdens that you are facing now.Suarez asked that people in the farmingcommunities contact her withthoughts, concerns and suggestions onwhat is hindering their ability to farm inNew York.

NYFB District 8 State Director JaySkellie was a guest at the meeting. Hespoke about the disaster relief recovery

that the Albany office has been workingon for the past several weeks. “Besidesdoing all of their normal work they’vejust been straight out trying to get outinformation to the farmers about whoyou can contact, what kind of programsare out there; locally, state wide, andnationally,” Skellie said, noting thatwith “trying to help people and directthem, they’ve been doing a great job.”Skellie reported that representativeshad made several trips to the disasterareas meeting with victims, relief peopleand the governor. “They’re workingovertime trying to help people out,” hesaid.

Skellie credited Julie Suarez and herteam for several public policy items thatwere accomplished last year. “They didget the Tax Cap Mandate Reliefthrough, not just people from the FarmBureau, but, Farm Bureau played a bigpart in it,” Skellie said. “The Ag budgetwas almost a disaster, but betweenJulie’s efforts, and her team’s efforts,and your efforts with lobbying downthere, we got some of it put back in.”Skellie commented that, “We alwaystake more than our fair share of the hit,they realize that — and we’re happy thatthey did realize it! So some of the pro-grams are still going on, but,” Skelliewarned, “it’s probably going to be a fightagain next year, so we might as well getprepared.”

Skellie also reported on the Chesa-peake Bay water quality regulations,which he said, was going to end up im-pacting most of the State. “It’s a tremen-dous amount of money needed to meetthese new requirements, which was re-ally onerous, because New York State isso far ahead of some of the other statesthat are included in the ChesapeakeBay.” Skellie again applauded Suarez

and her team, which with the efforts ofNYS FB President Dean Norton, went tothe DEC Commissioner and proved thatNYS water is cleaner when it hits theborder than what their requirementsrequest. The team then reported toWashington, D.C. with the facts, withthe DEC Commissioner taking FarmBureau’s side.

Skellie also reported on labor issues,which are ongoing. “It’s a fight,” Skelliesaid. “Even now, they’re trying to get itso our own children can’t work on thefarm with these new regulations! I thinkour kids are way ahead of everybodyelse’s because they learn responsibili-ty.”

Farm Bureau members voted on res-olutions and reaffirmation, which willbe submitted at the state annual meet-ing. Heading up the list at the local lev-el was strong support of increased andconsistent funding levels of the Fulton-Montgomery CCE in order to retain thecurrent Dairy and Field crops teams,and Capital District Vegetable andSmall Fruit team, so that agriculturehas the ability to thrive in the county.

Possibly the youngest FB Board Pres-ident, at 23 years of age, Martin Kelly, ofFort Plain, was named new Board Pres-ident, succeeding John Fidler of Delan-son. “I look forward to working witheveryone that was elected tonight to theboard,” Kelly said. “I think we have agood board and I think we work great asa team, and I look forward to workingwith everyone.”

John Fidler was named Vice-Presi-dent. Wendy Ayers, who served previ-ously, was also added to the 2011-2012Board roster. Go to NY Farm Bureau’sWeb site for more information aboutcounty and State programs, resolu-tions, and contact people.

by Kara Lynn DunnBELLEVILLE, NY — “These are beau-

tiful stands. We are incredibly im-pressed with how well this variety trialis growing here,” said Cornell Universi-ty Research Associate Dr. Hilary May-ton with the Biofuel Perennial GrassProject. She was talking to farmers,conservationists and students aboutthe switchgrass, big bluestem and oth-er perennial grass trial plots at theBelleville-Henderson Central Schoolcampus in Belleville, NY.

“Now that these stands are mature,we are looking to see which varieties willproduce relatively stable yields over

time,” Mayton said.Switchgrass takes three years to ma-

ture. Mayton said the key to establish-ing a strong stand starts with high qual-ity seed.

“Find the best quality seed for a highrate of germination. Cornell will testseed samples for germination,” Maytonsaid.

Testing has shown that seed tag la-bels do not always accurately reflect thegermination/dormancy ratio.

Most growers plant 8 to 10 pounds ofseed per acre.

“Fields should be planted betweenearly-mid May through June. You can

mow in mid-July to knock down theweed pressure and open the grasscanopy, then leave it alone,” Maytonsaid. “The first year you want the cropto establish its roots. Especially don’tmow a warm season grass crop pastJuly 15-20.”

In the fall, the nutrients in the cropreturn to the roots and directly impactthe perenniality of the crop and thelong-term life of the stand.

“The second year before the cropbreaks dormancy, you can sprayRoundup to kill the first flush of weeds,then do not cut until after September andonly cut to 8 to 10 inches,” Mayton said.

“In trials co-sponsored by the NorthCentral SunGrant Region and the U.S.Department of Energy in such states asSouth Dakota, Oklahoma, Iowa, andVirginia, New York has had the highestyields of all the trials,” Mayton said. “Wesee strong and steadier yields in partbecause of the rain here, and we thinkwe can boost our yields more withbreeding and selection.”

Cornell University has approximately16,000 seedlings in its plant nurserycollection and is just beginning selec-tion breeding.

Mayton said the research team hasshipped the harvested grasses to aprocessor for evaluation on how wellthey process into biofuel pellets. TheSunburst variety, for example, couldnot be processed into pellets, whileother varieties do form well into pel-lets, bricks and other formats for useas a feedstock for direct combustion orgasification.

The Northern New York AgriculturalDevelopment Program has providedfunding for the side-by-side compar-isons of the grasses as a potential ener-gy crop. Conservationists are also find-ing the grass trials useful for selectingspecies for creating wildlife habitat,such as pheasant preserves.

Field day organizer and Cornell Coop-erative Extension of Jefferson CountyField Crops Educator Mike Hunter,said, “We are seeing a surge in interestin conservation practices by individualsand such groups as Ducks Unlimitedand the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.”

Next on the researchers’ agenda is toevaluate mixed seedings of the variousgrasses. The impact of nitrogen on thecrops will be trialed at the Belleville-Henderson school plots.

Cornell University Plant PathologistGary C. Bergstrom said, “We are already

watching for initial signs of disease inNew York and drawing on informationfrom such states as Iowa and Kansaswhere they have grown these grassesfor many years.”

Both researchers said they are in-terested to measure the long-termsustainability and disease resistanceof grass mixes over a monoculturecrop. The intent is to get ahead of thetime when New York state will havethousands of acres of grasses creatingthe opportunity for more disease inthe crops.

Switchgrass smut is one of the dis-eases that Bergstrom is asking growersto recognize in grasses for bioenergypurposes as well as in ornamental orconservation plantings.

“We would like growers to look for thisdisease. Smut affects the plant’s seedproduction and can stunt crop yield upto 50 percent,” Bergstrom said. “Smutmay also occur in ornamental grassesused for landscaping.”

Smutted seed heads showing fungalspores have been seen in the switch-grass trials in Chemung County, NY, aswell as in trials in Pennsylvania.

Growers can send suspicious seedheads from their switchgrass crops toBergstrom at Cornell for evaluation.

“There is currently no treatment forsmut, however, fungicidal treatments ofseed are under evaluation and smut-re-sistant variety trials are underway atthe USDA NRCS Big Flats facility and atthe research facilities of Ernst Seed inPennsylvania. This research is support-ed in part by the New York Farm Viabil-ity Institute. We will have our first read-ings on variety reaction there later thisyear. In the meantime, reducing theshipment of infected seed is helpful incontrolling the spread of the disease,”Bergstrom said.

Bergstrom said switchgrass rust is al-so a threat to switchgrass biomassyield. Rust spores move north fromsouthern states on air currents and af-fect switchgrass crops sporadically inthe northern states.

Members of the Belleville-HendersonFFA attending the program includedNew York State FFA President J.W.Allen, Amanda Rhodes and incomingadvisor Tedra McDougal.

(Following is a letter from New York’sSenators and seven members of the StateDelegation, asking President Obama andFEMA Administrator Craig Fugate tostrongly support an appeal of the denialof federal assistance for damage done inMay 2011. Governor Andrew Cuomo sub-mitted a formal appeal of the denial onOct. 19, 2011, explaining the necessity ofsecurity federal help for the over $23 mil-lion in damage done during the period ofMay 9-30. Counties affected were Alle-gany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Chemu-ng, Clinton, Delaware, Essex, Niagara,Steuben, Warren, and Wyoming. Signingthe letter was Senators Chuck Schumerand Kirsten Gillibrand and Representa-tives Chris Gibson, Brian Higgins, Mau-rice Hinchey, Kathy Hochul, Bill Owens,Tom Reed, and Louise Slaughter. Text ofthe letter is as follows:)

Dear President Obama and Adminis-trator Fugate

Thank you for your efforts in supportof the counties across New York Stateimpacted by the recent severe stormsand flooding. In July, the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA) de-clared that the counties of Allegany,Cattaraugus, Chemung, Clinton,Delaware, Essex, Steuben, Warren, andWyoming were not eligible for federal as-sistance for damage suffered as a resultof the severe storms and flooding duringthe period of May 9-30, 2011. The stated

reason for the denial was that “the dam-age from this event was not of suchseverity and magnitude as to be beyondthe capabilities of the State and affectedlocal governments.”

On Oct. 19, 2011, the State of NewYork submitted a formal appeal of thisdenial and added Chautauqua and Nia-gara Counties to the State’s original re-quest. We write today to express ourstrong support for this appeal. NewYork State has suffered tremendousdevastation throughout 2011 and,without federal assistance, our localcommunities will not have the re-sources to repair the extensive damagedone to vital bridges and roads. As youknow, 44 CFR Section 206.48 requiresFEMA to take localized impact and re-cent multiple disasters into accountwhen evaluating a state’s request for amajor disaster declaration. Given thatprior to the May 9-30 storms, New Yorkhad received four major disaster decla-rations and local damages in some af-fected counties exceed per capitathresholds by a factor of almost 60, werespectfully urge you to accept NewYork’s appeal for assistance.

Thank you for your continued effortson behalf of all New Yorkers impactedby this year’s devastating storms. Welook forward to continuing to work withyou to ensure our local communitiesrecover swiftly.

by Steven E SmithSUNY Cobleskill is leading the way in

training college and non traditional stu-dents in the knowledge and skills ofmeat processing. The program hasgained national notoriety because of itstraining of college students as well as itsincreasingly popular intense certifica-tion training course.

Rare certification courseFor many who have been entering

the field of meat processing, the waythey have had to learn has been ap-prenticing under an establishedbutcher. With the shortage of facilitiesand increasing demand for meat pro-cessing training opportunities, SUNYCobleskill offers a certification courseto train people interested in enteringthe field. The certificate course is avery intense four week experience.Each course is limited to 10 studentswith two instructors taught in an on-the-job training format. To date it isjust one of 10 such programs in thecountry to provide this type of trainingexperience. The course has gainedsome national notoriety thanks in partto SUNY Cobleskill’s Meat ProcessingManager and Instructor of Meat Pro-cessing Courses, Eric Shelley.

“People complete the program with asolid foundation to jump into the indus-try. We have had graduates enter at gro-cery store level, work at small plants,commercial plants, USDA placementsas well as those that have started theirown plant,” stated Shelley. “We teachfederal regulations in lecture androundtable discussions as well as thefive days a week nine to 10 hours ofhands on training,” indicated Shelley.

Now in its fourth year, the SUNY

Cobleskill Meat Processing and FoodSafety Certificate Program has attract-ed students for the certification coursefrom across the U.S. Shelley attributessome of this interest to the movementtowards whole animal use. “These culi-nary artists can do some amazingthings. During the certificate course, weare very busy working so we often run agrill to get lunch out of the way. On oc-casion, we have had students show offtheir talents.”

Collegiate coursesSince SUNY Cobleskill has the only

USDA inspected meat processing plantin the SUNY system, the college attractsstudents interested in the hand on as-pect of meat processing. As a part of theSchool of Agriculture and Natural Re-sources, the meats lab allows the schoolto demonstrate the complete life cycle ofraising to processing of livestock andfish on campus. Additionally CulinaryArts students from the School of Busi-ness are given excellent training in meatprocessing that complements their foodpreparation coursework. Each year,about 45 college students take coursestaught at the facility including a Har-vesting course, Meat Selection and Cut-ting for Restaurant and Meat Products.While the meat products course isgeared towards the agriculture student,Meat Selection and Cutting also offerssome live animal exposure to developthe culinary student. Another methodof developing students is with the Tech-niques course. These students come infor four hours each week to and work inall aspects of plant operations. “Theyget more time hands-on and build theknife skills in the techniques course.”Operations at the lab are coordinated to

maximize student interaction. Numer-ous other courses use the facility todemonstrate organ and tissue anatomyand other aspects of biological func-tions in livestock and fisheries.

Inspection and oversightShelley operates the facility just as a

small commercial processing plantwould run, believes in the hands-ontraining. As part of being educatedalongside a USDA inspector, studentslearn what the process entails. USDAinspectors look at the live animal onthe move, humane handling as well asinspecting the carcass to detect ab-normalities and swab the kidney forantibiotic.

Another important aspect of meatprocessing management that is taughtat the SUNY Cobleskill facility is theirHazard Analysis of Critical ControlPoints or HACCP plan. All students in-volved in the meat processing opera-tions are taught and practice the stepsand protocols established in the HACCPplan. These procedures ensure thattime and temperatures of meats goingthrough the plant are taken and keptwithin plan standards.

“There will always be opportunitiesfor problems because of the pathogensthat are present in the environment. Weare committed to food safety and willlikely be offering course work in thearea of HACCP planning in the future,”said Shelley.

Facility customers“About 90 percent of the animals

processed at the college facility arefrom local producers,” indicated Shel-ley. These farms have customer basesthat like the processing as well as pack-

aging options including traditionalbutcher paper, film and foam wrappingor vacuum packing. “We offer every-thing but smoking to our customers,”stated Shelley. The lab can processbeef, lamb, pork and poultry. “We col-laborate with the Cobleskill AuxiliaryServices’ Dining Services operations toprovide a portion of the meats for theirFarm to Fork program. In doing so, an-imals raised on campus are processedhere and then served in the dininghalls,” stated Shelley.

CompostingAnother important activity that the

Shelley is conducting as part of the meatprocessing facility is animal composting.Shelley indicated that the campus wasincurring rendering costs $.06 perpound. So he and others in the depart-ment decided to demonstrate “offal com-posting.” Shelley uses a thin layer of pinechips, topped with a two foot layer ofhorse manure and a cell of offal then atwo foot layer of horse manure to com-plete a compost lift. After a 10 week peri-od of time the offal compost is ready to becombined with other compost materials.

The meat processing program atSUNY Cobleskill provides an in-depth,practical training environment for col-lege students. And with the successfulinclusion of a certification course thathas generated national interest, themeats processing department has morethan justified its future at the college.“We are glad to be able to offer the fullintegration of animal propagation, meatprocessing and food preparation righthere at our campus,” concluded Shel-ley.

by Judy Van PutThis is the second part of an article on

the Beginning Goat Farming Class of-fered by Cornell Cooperative Extensionof Delaware County in conjunction withthe Watershed Agricultural Council atthe CCE office in Hamden.

Dr. tatiana Stanton, NYS and CornellGoat Specialist, continued her powerpoint presentation with a discussion ofoptions for beginning goat farmers todecide, such as whether to raise showstock or commercial stock.

If the answer is raising show stock,she suggested that the show goatfarmer consider investing in a Web sitein order to get information out to thepublic, especially if he is not activelyshowing his animals. Usually, she con-tinued, all male kids go to the breedingstock sale, with the lower 90 percent go-ing to sale as slaughter. Some farms usetheir lower 90 percent as 4-H marketgoats for 4-Hers showing in the opencircuit. Most farms raising pure bredgoats are doing slaughter goats as well,she added.

Commercial farms may also be able tosell breeding stock. In selecting animalsfor the farm she suggested to try andbuy from someone who is caring fortheir animals similarly to how you’re go-ing to raise your animals.

Feed demands in show animalsshould be greater, as you’re going formaximum finish and condition on theseanimals. Once you start feeding formaximum finish, you will get lessweight gain and growth per pound ofgrain. For commercial animals, theamount of feed should be less.

If you are selling breeding stock, yourfarmstead should be neat and tidy.There will be more labor involved in rais-ing show goats than in raising commer-cial goats. In determining what breed ofgoat you should raise, the answer willdepend on your reasons for getting intomeat goat farming. You should thinkabout whether you plan on marketingwith others — if so, you will want youranimals to conform with those you’ll bemarketing with, as most slaughterhous-es desire a uniform group of animals. Inaddition, how difficult will it be to find abuck of your desired breed, and howmuch outlay are you willing to spend? Ifyou choose a rare breed, the outlay costmay be a lot more.

In the United States, goat meat con-sumption has increased dramaticallyover the past 20 years. Most kids aremarketed either as suckling kids ormarket kids. Ideally, you want a kidgrown with little rumen developmentand a good fat covering. Suckling kidsare most popular over the holidays,such as Easter, Christmas, New Year’sand Passover, with Cinco de Mayo inHispanic areas.

It’s important to plan when you’ll wantyour does to kid. Gestation is about fivemonths — no matter what the weather islike. Kids should be weaned at abouteight to 10 weeks of age — so for Easterkids, you’ll need kids born in January orFebruary. Goats tend to be photosensi-tive — they naturally come in heat whendays are shortening in the autumn. Butin order to make the Christmas and NewYear’s market; kids are slaughtered bythe end of December, requiring them tobe born in September/October. These

are “out of season” kids, bred in April orMay. Female goats are less likely tocome into heat in the spring when thedays are getting longer.

There are a number of things to con-sider if kidding occurs during winter —namely, water, feed storage, housing,fresh air. Here in upstate New York, wemust invest in shelters with good venti-lation and no drafts for winter kidding.These may include high ceilings, windresistant screening and fans. Dr. Stan-ton warned that wind chill can kill offkids, which need to be kept fairly warm(around 32 degrees is fairly comfortablefor goats.) If goats are kidding in a three-sided shelter, windchill is a big killer;but if they are closed up in a barn, theyare disposed to pneumonia problemsbecause of humidity and lack of ventila-tion. Rather, go for high ceilings as incow facilities with solid lower walls toprevent drafts, but wind-resistantscreening to allow good air flowthroughout the upper walls.

Another problem with kidding in coldweather is smothering. In a drafty barn,kids will bunch up by ‘stacking’ on topof each other and actually smother eachother. A good way to prevent this fromhappening is to have shelves — and can‘stack up’ in one layer only. Some farmswill invest in a heated kidding room,kept at 50 degrees with an alligatorkerosene heater. The kids only spend acouple of hours in the room; then oncedry, they are moved out. “Jugs” or kid-ding pens are often used in winter whenthe kidding barn is crowded — kids thatget confused as to who their mother isare often put in a ‘jug’ — the best bene-fit is gained during the first couple ofhours. Bonding is best when kids aremoved out after 12 hours in the jug sothat they are sharper in knowing whomother is.

Does nursing kids need a lot of water— and during winter, it is important tohave waterers that will not freeze. Kid-ding during winter involves a huge laborexpense, compared to the amount of la-bor per dam in spring. If the winterweather is very cold and windy, thegoats will need a lot of feed and hay tokeep their rumen warm and function-ing, and produce a lot of milk for kids; itis fairly expensive to raise Easter kids.

If you decide to plan on selling yourkids in the warmer weather, there are anumber of things to take into consider-ation, including good fences, protectionfrom predators and internal parasitecontrol. For a pasture-based market kidoperation, goats won’t require as good abarn, and does may even kid out in thepasture. However, there may be a prob-lem with predators that winter kidsdon’t have. In addition, internal para-sites are one of the biggest problemswith a pasture-based operation. Doesand ewes lose immunity to worms whilelactating. The more she’s lactating inthe months of July and August, thegreater number of problems with para-sites in a pasture based market kid sys-tem. When managing your pasture, youneed to make parasite management atop priority, monitor animals frequent-ly, and decide how soon to move themout of the pasture so the pasture isn’tgrazed too short.

In the afternoon, the class traveledto Mike Noonan’s Glenanore Farm,

Bovina Center. Mike provided an in-formative overview of his Boer goatfarm. The class was given a tour of thebarns and pastures, with a discussionof how his barn is set up — for feeding,breeding and stabling. Question andanswer sessions provided valuable in-sight as to managing a successful meat

goat operation.After providing an overview of the

afternoon’s session, Dr. Stanton gavethe addresses of a number of helpfulWeb sites, including www.ansci.cor-nell.edu/goats; www.sheepandgoat.com; https://attra.ncat.org and srmar-keting-L@cornell.edu.

Snow compostingMy tiny 15-year old chainsaw is a

light green color and is not one of thebrands preferred by serious loggers.But it works for me. It had a limitedwarranty, which expired long, longago. I called it a 60/30/0 warranty. Ifthe owner used the saw for light work(which probably included woody brushand limbs less than two inches in di-ameter), there was a 60 day warranty.If heavy work was performed, whichprobably meant felling a four inch (orlarger) diameter tree, the warranty pe-riod was 30 days. And if any one elsebeside the owner used the saw, thewarranty was voided entirely.

Over the years I cut up more small tomedium-sized trees than what the man-ufacturer had in mind. The end productwas fire wood, which was burned in ourold-fashioned hearth fireplace withglass doors. I believe this antiquatedsystem was fairly efficient. A few yearsago we lost power when the tempera-ture was minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit.With this fireplace I was able to get theliving room temperature up to 49 de-grees. The doors to unused rooms with-out water were closed, and the rest ofour 1,400 square foot ranch ended up alittle above freezing. Fortunately afterabout six hours power was restored.

But a little over a year ago, it becameapparent that our chimney was be-coming quite worse for wear, andwould have to come down. The red-

brick chimney was taken down and re-placed by a concrete block structure,which would, from now on, only serv-ice our oil furnace. The fireplace…glass doors and all… was replaced withstuds, wall-board, insulation, plaster,primer, and paint. All this was accom-plished last October. In February ofthis year (and I’ve written about this) aglacier formed on the roof and, duringa major thaw, pushed the new chim-ney over onto the driveway. The newchimney was replaced this past sum-mer, this time with a metal diverter tosplit any snow/ice load, so that suchdoesn’t push against the replacementchimney’s replacement.

Turning the clock back two plusyears, apart from the benefit of woodbeing cut up for a fireplace or woodstove, there’s the feature of how thewood chips react with ice, snow, andsoil. The wood chips smell good, par-ticularly when you’re cutting down anevergreen for a Christmas tree. Woodchips give traction to an icy driveway,as do wood ashes. When the woodchips and sawdust contact the soil,they soon compost… due to geother-mal warmth… to become soil organicmatter, even under the snow.

However, if these chainsaw byprod-ucts do not work their way down to thesoil, rather just remain on top of the iceand snow, they do not compost. In factthey exhibit significant insulation prop-erties. Before electricity-powered refrig-

eration, ice harvested from ponds waspacked in sawdust in ice houses. Prop-erly managed, ice lasted from late win-ter till the pond refroze next season.

Getting dead vegetative matter downto the surface of the soil is an impor-tant step in improving that soil’s fertil-ity. The meadow which may not havebeen harvested because it stayed toowet all season, if brush-hogged thisfall, will experience composting underthe snow. The mulched vegetative ma-terial will decay and start contributingto the soil’s organic matter by the timethe field begins greening up next April.For this dead vegetation to compost,moisture, warmth, and oxygen are re-quired. As the soil’s organic matter in-creases… due to composting… so willthe soil’s moisture holding capacity.

Classic USDA data, which I quote re-peatedly, has shown that 100 poundsof dry soil with five percent organicmatter (OM) can hold 195 pounds ofwater, an amount equivalent to a sixinch rainfall. Conversely, 100 poundsof two percent organic matter soil canhold only 45 pounds of water, which isequivalent to only one and a half inch-es of rain. I can personally attest tohow much more fun it is to drive onthe higher OM soils after plenty of rain,compared to lower OM soils.

Returning to the subject of ice hous-es, there is an ice harvest festival eachFebruary not far from our home, in thehamlet of Millers’ Mills. Sue and I havenever been to it, even though it’s onlyabout 25 miles away. We resolve tochange that sad fact four monthshence. At that festival, ice is cut fromthe frozen pond surface, then, to thebest of my knowledge, hauled away byhorses in some type of bobsled. The iceis then packed in ice houses near the

small lake, with blocks of the frozenwater sandwiched between layers ofsawdust. How long the ice is success-fully stored into warm weather issomething I plan to learn.

For just over a century, Cooperstownhas been blessed with a benefactorfamily… some consider them almost adynasty. This family administers itsgenerosity through a foundation,which has contributed bountifully tothe local hospital, as well, years backto several agricultural enterprises. Thelatter included a Guernsey dairy farm,a Black Angus beef cattle operation,and a poultry operation, all supportedby a fairly serious crop program. Littleknown is the fact that another agricul-tural endeavor of this benefactor wasice harvesting, most likely from LakeOtsego. Such ice was used, with localpride, in restaurants, as well as thehomes of our aristocracy. All was welluntil one late afternoon, some 50 yearsago, a second generation benefactorfound a piece of sawdust in an ice cubein his cocktail. That mishap rapidlyspelled the demise of ice harvestingand storage endorsed by Cooper-stown’s upper social echelons.

Can you believe wejust had our first frost?

This year we had avery long growing sea-son. There was no latefrost this spring and ourfirst fall frost came thesecond to the last weekin October. The year be-gan on the rocky sidewith a great deal of rain.The middle of summersaw no rain at all!

The corn fields areemptying fast aroundhere. This should bringa decent year for thefarmers who raise cornfor silage.

The leaves were gor-geous this year. In fact,the leaves around hereput on a much bettershow than those to our

north. I recently re-turned from a “leaf peep-ers” cruise. The people inthe Canadian provincesand in the New Englandstates still said theirpeak season was aheadof them, but at the ratethe leaves were falling Idoubted that.

It was great to gosightseeing in an areathat you were very famil-iar with. We watchedpeople scoop up coloredleaves and put them intotheir bags. I was notsure that they realizedthey would probablyhave tiny specks whenthey got home instead ofnice colored leaves.

Of course, we did notgo for the colored leaves.

It was simply a nice wayto get away to relax.

Those left at home hadrainy cold weather whilewe had fairly mild weatherwith mostly sunny days.

Now, it is time tomulch the leaves. I sim-ply take the moweraround the yard mowingup the leaves that are onthe ground. Sometimes Ihave to go over an areaseveral times to chop upthe leaves but it is betterthan having to rakethem. It is also better forthe lawn. When youmulch, all of the nutri-ents go back into thelawn. My yard can useall of the help that it canget. If I did not mowweeds, I would have nolawn at all!

The animals at myson’s farm are still graz-ing. There is plenty forthem to eat. The animalsare used to being movedfrom paddock to pad-dock. Whenever some-

one comes near, they areanxious because theythink it is time to move.If these animals acciden-tally get out, you get afeed bucket and they willfollow you. I often tookadvantage of that tech-nique before the hightensile fence was in-stalled. If you know any-thing about animals youknow that if there is away to get out of a fencethey will find it. Ofcourse, they never findtheir way back into it.

This fall my son start-ed to revamp the oldwood granary at thefarm. First, he was goingto take it down and buildsomething new, but as

he looked it over he de-cided it was worth sal-vaging. There is now anew floor and some newsupports. He moved thegrain bin to make moreroom and moved thestairs. It was amazingwhat he found in thatbuilding. I do not thinkanyone had gone up-stairs in years.

That kind of thing of-ten happens on a farm.Things get put away andare not seen again forgenerations. He evenfound some old car win-dows. I am sure thatthey must have been inthat building when myin-laws bought the farmbecause they never had

a car that old.Who knows what the

weather man has instore. We had a beautifulfall with some sunnydays and warm weather.

Someone asked meyesterday if I was readyfor winter. Whenever itcomes we just have to beready since we cannot doanything about it. I dolove the change of sea-sons though. If we havea lot of snow I will simplydo the things that I liketo do at home and try tostay warm.

PLATTSBURGH, NY —USDA’s Natural Re-sources ConservationService (NRCS) is workingin partnership withlandowners in Clintonand Essex counties in theLake Champlain Water-shed to protect habitatfor shrub and grass landbirds. Funding for theproject is coming fromPresident Obama’s Amer-ica’s Great Outdoors Ini-

tiative through the USDANRCS Wildlife Habitat In-centive Program.

“Lake Champlain waschosen as a national sig-nature project for Ameri-ca’s Great Outdoors Ini-tiative because of its com-prehensive pollution,control and restorationplan for protecting thewater quality, wetlands,wildlife, recreational andcultural resources in the

watershed. Importantgrassland and shrublandhabitat management wasa part of that plan, andwe are pleased to use theWildlife Habitat Improve-ment Program to helplandowners managethose resources, alongwith NYS DEC and NYAudubon,” said MarilynStephenson, AssistantState Conservationist forField Operations with

USDA NRCS in New York.Eighteen landowners

in Clinton and Essexcounties signed up totake advantage of incen-tive payments to createand protect habitat forgrass and shrublandbird species such as theGolden-winged Warbler,American Woodcock,Blue-winged Warbler,Canada Warbler, Black-billed Cuckoo, Whip-poor-will, RuffedGrouse, Brown Thrash-er, Willow Flycatcher,Eastern Towhee, North-ern Harrier, UplandSandpiper, Horned Lark,Sedge Wren, EasternBluebird, Clay-coloredSparrow, Vesper Spar-row, Grasshopper Spar-row, Henslow’s Sparrow,Dickcissel, Bobolink andEastern Meadowlark.

Grassland birds aredeclining significantly inthe Northeast due to theloss of suitable habitat.In some cases, haying orpasturing of animals canbe a compatible farm usewhen mowing or grazingis done after July 15.Mowing after this dateallows birds time to nestand raise their young,and keeps grass andshrublands open for mi-grant songbirds.

“The Lake ChamplainWatershed has severalimportant bird habitatareas located in north-eastern Clinton County,areas along Lake Cham-plain in central EssexCounty, and in Fort Ed-ward in WashingtonCounty. We rely on pri-vate landowners to workwith us to help protecthabitat in these and oth-er areas throughout thebasin,” said Joe Wet-zstein, USDA NRCS Act-ing District Conserva-

Not another stormBoom! I was awakened from my

sleep. Not another storm, I thought, asI dozed back to dreamland. Wherewere you during the dry spell thissummer when we needed you? Thispast spring it rained every day. Then

when summer came it grew quiet andwouldn’t rain, as we watched our cropsgo from good to fair as the season woreon. We’re lucky, we thought. At leastwe got them in, but it seems the lateplanted corn made a better crop. Withno hard frost as yet, the farmers are on

to a better crop of corn.I’m not saying it is the best crop

they’ve harvested, just better thanthe crops planted earlier. Some farm-ers learned from this that it’s betterto wait until the season says it’sready, because nothing will growanyway. It seems we’ve had almost3,000 degree growing days and withall the mix, it wasn’t enough. Eitherthe crops drowned out or just failedto grow profitably.

Our friendly assessor stopped theother day, but my husband wasn’thome so I told him to come back. Inthe meantime, my husband returnedand they had quite a conversation. Itseems that they could reduce the as-sessments on our buildings but theland values went out of sight. It endedup that the land values more thancompensated for the reductions on ourbuildings. It has always been that way;we never gain a thing when we’re alldone talking to our assessors. It does-

n’t matter if some of the land isn’t thebest; the assessments went up any-way. Something about the farmersmaking a lot of money.

The squirrels around the farm arehaving a ball. The nuts aren’t as plen-tiful as they usually are, so the squir-rels are hiding all that they can. Evengoing after my Chinese chestnuts. Ihope they don’t follow suit next year.It’s not fair that I don’t get any andthey get them all. Oh well, I will seewhat they do on a normal year, nosense fretting about it now.

JEHOVAH IS KING! He is robed inmajesty and strength. The world ishis throne. O Lord, you have reignedfrom prehistoric times, from the ever-lasting past! The mighty oceans thun-der your praise. You are mightier thanall the breakers pounding on theseashores of the world! Your royal de-crees can not be changed. Holiness isforever the keynote of your reign.(Psalms 93:1-5) TLB

New law elevates le-gal repercussions ofmislabeling maplesyrup from a misde-meanor to a felony.Mislabeling short-changes producers anddefrauds consumers

WASHINGTON, D.C. —U.S. Senators Charles E.Schumer and KirstenGillibrand on Oct. 20 in-troduced legislation thatwould make intentional-ly mislabeling food prod-ucts as “maple syrup” afederal crime. Currentlythis form of food fraud isonly a misdemeanor. Thelegislation would makethese crimes a felony, in-creasing sentences thatprosecutors can seek forpeople who defraud con-sumers and farmers byintentionally mislabelingmaple syrup.

“Maple farmers acrossNew York state producesome of the highest qual-ity syrup in the world,”said Senator Schumer.“We need to crackdownon individuals trying topass off fake syrup asthe real thing, so thatour farmers can competefair and square. The onlything that should beflowing over mom’s pan-cakes is good, pure, NewYork maple syrup.”

“New York is the sec-ond largest producer ofmaple syrup in the U.S.,and we shouldn’t allowproduction to be ham-pered by fraudulent be-havior,” Senator Gilli-brand said. “This bill en-

sures that producers ofreal maple syrup can selltheir product in an hon-est market and that con-sumers know whatthey’re paying for.”

The bill is being intro-duced in response to arecent U.S. Food andDrug Administration in-vestigation that deter-mined that a Rhode Is-land man was market-ing and selling a prod-uct as maple syrupwhen in fact it was canesugar. Cane sugar costsabout 2 percent asmuch as real maplesyrup, thus defraudingconsumers who believedthat they were purchas-ing real maple syrup.The bipartisan MapleAgriculture Protectionand Law Enforcement(MAPLE) Act would in-crease the maximumpenalty for fraudulentlyselling maple syrup thatis not, in fact, maplesyrup from one year tofive years in prison.

Weed Science Societyof America spotlightsresearch by MontanaState University on therole vehicles play inthe spread of invasiveweed species

When you take yourfour-wheel drive out for aspin this fall, you mightbe bringing home morethan memories. Re-searchers at MontanaState University havefound that vehicles areroutinely transporting in-vasive weed seeds.

Seeds can stow awayon tires, bumpers, wheelwells or the underside ofa vehicle and sometimestravel great distances be-fore falling off in a new lo-cale. As weed seedssprout and grow, theycan crowd out nativeplants, disrupt nativeecosystems and wildlifehabitats and reduce cropyields when they spreadto nearby fields.

“Take a look at themany types of weedsgrowing along most anyroadside and you’ll get abig clue about the role ve-hicles play,” says LisaRew, Ph.D., a member ofthe Weed Science Societyof America and an assis-tant professor at MontanaState University. “With anestimated 4 million milesof roads crisscrossing theU.S. and an estimated256 million registered ve-hicles, even a few weedseeds per car can make asignificant impact on thespread of weeds.”

Montana State re-

searchers measured thenumber of seeds pickedup by a variety of vehiclesand the distance traveledbefore the seeds fell off.Among their key findings:

• Seed volume is sea-sonal. The study showedthousands more seedsper mile were transportedby vehicles during the fallthan in the spring.

• Moisture matters. Wetconditions make it easierfor seeds to be picked upby a vehicle — and easierfor them to drop off milesdown the road. Tests con-ducted at military instal-lations showed Humveespicked up 14 times moreseeds when conditionswere wet, while tankspicked up 26 times more.

• Distance is no barrier.The distances seeds cantravel may be surprising.When researchers exam-ined vehicles over severaldistance intervals, theyfound even at the 160-mile mark many seedsstayed attached. “If seedsare lodged in mud thatdries on the vehicle, theycan travel almost indefi-nitely, or at least until itrains again and the roadsurface is wet,” Rew says.Scientists consider thatbad news. When vehiclestransport seeds long dis-tances, it increases thelikelihood weeds will bespread into areas wherethey don’t yet occur.

• Off-road travel in-creases the risk. Outdoorsports enthusiasts truck-ing to remote trailheadsor riding ATVs off the

beaten path are at specialrisk for spreading weeds.Researchers found vehi-cles picked up almost 20times more seeds off-trailthan on-trail.

Recommended pre-vention techniques

To prevent the spreadof weeds, researchersrecommend that youwash your vehicle fre-quently, especially afterdriving off-road or off-trail or along roads bor-dered by high densitiesof weeds. Both the U.S.Department of Defenseand the U.S. Forest Ser-vice routinely use thattechnique to reduce therisk of transporting in-vasive species.

Montana State re-searchers evaluated theideal duration and num-ber of washes needed toremove weed seeds. Vehi-cles washed once for sixminutes or two to three

times for three minuteseach were judged to bethe most seed-free. Fiveportable commercialwash units were tested,and each performed simi-larly, regardless of thewater pressure or theamount of water used.Four of the units had un-dercarriage washers aswell as pressure hoses,which made removal ofdirt from the undersidemuch easier.

As an added measureof protection, land man-agers in areas wherehigh-risk invasivespecies are growing areadvised to close the areato traffic when theground is wet. Doing sowill dramatically reducethe risk of transportingweed seeds to new sitesand also reduce futureweed management costs.

“Understanding how ve-hicles spread weeds and

the steps we can take tointervene can help us re-duce weed seed dispersaland reduce the likelihoodof devastating new inva-sions that can be costly to

eradicate,” Rew said.For more information

Grapevine, TX — the nation’s largestgathering of motor carrier executives.The ATRI Top Industry Issues reportalso solicited and tabulated specificstrategies for addressing each issue.

The proposed changes to federalcommercial driver Hours-of-Servicerules caused that issue to climb inthis year’s survey to the number twospot. In contrast to concerns over theeconomy, a driver shortage is affect-

ing parts of the industry, causing thatissue to rise to the third position onthe list. While many stakeholders be-lieve that the impacts of the FederalMotor Carrier Safety Administration’sCSA (Compliance, Safety, Account-ability) program may be a contribut-ing factor to the driver shortage, agrowing understanding and accept-ance of CSA led it to drop two placesto number four on the list.

The ATA-commissioned survey re-sults and proposed strategies will beutilized by the ATA Federation to betterfocus its advocacy role on behalf of theU.S. trucking industry and ATA Feder-ation stakeholders.

“ATRI’s annual survey of industryconcerns provides ATA, and all oftrucking, a blueprint for identifying thetop issues we need to take up with ourelected leaders and policymakersacross the country,” said ATA Chair-man Barbara Windsor, president andCEO of Hahn Transportation Inc.

“As we navigate these increasinglychallenging times, it is critical for ourindustry leaders to advocate for poli-cies that make it easier for them to de-liver life’s essentials safely and effi-ciently,” ATA President and CEO BillGraves said. “In order to be effectiveadvocates, we must base our argu-ments in sound research and in com-mon sense. The results of ATRI’s sur-

vey not only give us the tools to dothat, but should serve as a wake-upcall for policymakers nationwide.”

ATRI is the trucking industry’s501(c)(3) not-for-profit research organ-ization. It is engaged in critical re-search relating to freight transporta-tion’s essential role in maintaining asafe, secure and efficient transporta-tion system.

Clifton E. Marshall, Vice President ofProduction for Select Sires, Plain City,OH, has been named the 2011 DairyScience Distinguished Alumnus byPenn State’s Department of Dairy andAnimal Science (DAS). He will be recog-nized at a departmental ceremony onFriday, Nov. 4.

Marshall received his bachelor of sci-ence from Penn State in Dairy Sciencein 1966 and his master’s from VirginiaPolytechnic Institute in 1968. He hastaken graduate classes at MichiganState University, Ohio State Universi-ty, and Ohio Wesleyan University.

Marshall said he is “humbled” to re-ceive the award, noting that those whohave been recognized represent an“august” list of predecessors whose ac-complishments in the Department andfor the international dairy communityhave been very, very significant. “To besandwiched between those individualsand those who will be enrolled in yearsto follow is indeed a special honor.”

Dr. Terry Etherton, Head of the De-partment of Dairy and Animal Science,said, “Clif has made tremendous con-tributions to the AI industry through-out his 43-year career with SelectSires. His commitment to continuing toseek improvements in producing highquality semen has been invaluable todairymen and beef producers through-out this country and the world.”

A native of New Bethlehem, PA, Clar-ion County, he grew up on a diversifiedfarm and graduated from RedbankValley High School, June 1962. He was

a member of 4-H and FFA.Marshall served as a graduate assis-

tant in dairy physiology for two yearsat Virginia Tech, earning his M.S. Hisresearch with Dr. Richard Saacke atVirginia Tech evolved to become the in-dustry standard for high quality se-men. He worked as laboratory supervi-sor at the Virginia Animal Breeders,Rocky Mount, VA for over a year, andfurthered his career with Select Siresbeginning in 1969 as laboratory man-ager in Michigan. He then served sev-enteen years as their reproductionspecialist, and has been vice-president

of production since 1989.Active in several professional organi-

zations, Marshall has been a memberof the American Dairy Science Associ-ation; the Society for the Study of Re-production; the National Association ofAnimal Breeders (NAAB), havingserved on their Technical, Researchand Fertility Committees; and the As-sociation for Applied Animal Androlo-gy. NAAB honored him with their 2010Pioneer Award.

Marshall has been instrumental in

introducing U.S. technology to thedairy industry in Europe, travelingfor World Wide Sires, USDA and US-AID. He has also helped further qual-ity semen production throughout theindustry through the publishing of 66articles he helped author or co-au-thor and present.

As an undergraduate at Penn State,Marshall was a member of the DairyScience Club, participating in theDairy Expo and the Campus 4-H Club.

ALBANY, NY — A few days after an applicant fordisaster assistance registers with the Federal Emer-gency Management Agency (FEMA), he or she will re-ceive a letter from FEMA. It is important that the let-ter be read in its entirety, FEMA officials stress,since it explains where the applicant is in the assis-

tance process, what to do next, whether a grant isapproved and if so how the money must be spent.

Should the letter say that the application hasbeen denied, it will also explain how the decisioncan be appealed.

Along with the letter from FEMA might come anapplication for a low-interest loan from the SmallBusiness Administration. These loans can help whenhomes are damaged and personal property, includ-ing motor vehicles, is damaged or lost. There is norequirement that the loans be accepted, but filingthe application is necessary to qualify for certain dis-aster-related FEMA funding.

FEMA and the state’s Office of Emergency Manage-ment jointly operate Disaster Recovery Centers(DRCs), where problems can be addressed, questionsanswered and guidance given. Should anything inthe FEMA post-registration letter cause uncertainty,DRC representatives can usually clear the air.

It is critical that applicants stay in touch withFEMA, by phone at 800-621-3362, online at Dis-asterAssistance.gov or by visiting a Disaster Recov-ery Center. Should changes occur in one’s address,phone contact or other personal information,FEMA must be informed in order to expedite theassistance process.

A member of Alpha Zeta, he served as social chair-man. He is also a member of Alpha Tau Alpha, a na-tional professional honorary agricultural educationorganization.

He was a member of the collegiate dairy judg-ing team, judging at both the Big E in Spring-field, MA, and at the national contest, then heldin Waterloo, Iowa.

He has served his community as a former 4-Hleader, a Cub Scout leader, Little League Baseballcoach, Township Zoning Commissioner and Bell-point United Methodist Church AdministrativeCouncil member.

Marshall has an eclectic list of hobbies, includingbicycling, woodworking, needlepoint, hiking and mo-torcycling with his wife. He also has a “bucket” list offuture activities including, in part, climbing Mt. Kili-manjaro in Tanzania, bicycling across the UnitedStates, skydiving and traveling. He also enjoys beingan active grandparent.

Marshall is married to Charlotte, and has twosons, Christopher E. married to Suzie with son Jax-son, and C. Eric, with son Aiden in California andTexas, respectively The elder Marshalls reside in Os-trander, Ohio.

The autumn of theiryears

Early this summer we‘downsized’ a bit, due totime constraints and fi-nances — and found awonderful new home forour energetic youngThoroughbred, who isbeing worked on a dailybasis and given newchallenges, that aresurely keeping him en-tertained and satisfied.We were left with our twodear old mares, a 26-year old TennesseeWalking Horse and a 27-year old Morgan, both ofwhom seem to havecome through the sum-mer very well, left totheir own slower pace.

Having older ‘aged’horses presents its re-wards as well as its chal-lenges; their tempera-ments are so calm anddependable that practi-cally anyone can ridethem, no matter howlong it’s been since thelast ride, unlike a spirit-ed youngster withboundless energy. How-ever, these ‘elders’ are of-ten prone to health prob-lems, and can present

challenges requiring ex-tra time and care in or-der to keep them in goodcondition.

Both of the mares suf-fer from ‘achey joints’from time to time — theTennessee Walking Horsein her knees, and theMorgan mostly in her fet-locks. We’ve changed ourriding to accommodate,and find that we nolonger can ride them onour steep trails, as carry-ing a rider downhill putsa great deal of stress andstrain on those jointsand causes them pain. Inaddition, they stumblefrom time to time, andtheir reflexes are a bitslower. There are alsomany more tubs of sup-plements and “joint-ease” products on theshelf in the feed room.

Caring for elder horsesrequires careful atten-tion to their diet. It’s im-portant to have theirteeth checked on a regu-lar basis to ensure thatthey are able to chewtheir food properly andthus get all the benefitsfrom what they are beingfed. Elder horses can de-

velop sharp points ontheir teeth if they are notground down evenly,which will cause painwhile chewing; and it’snot unusual for elderhorses to begin to losetheir teeth, makingchewing hay and con-centrated feeds almostimpossible. If you noticecigar-shaped wads ofhay or grass in yourhorse’s stall or feedbucket, called “quids”,chances are good thatyour horse is havingtooth problems and isnot able to properly chew

her food. Another sign oftooth problems is findingundigested grains pass-ing through her manure— that feed you’ve beengiving is not benefittingyour horse and becomesexpensive if she’s notable to chew and digestit. Older horses areprone to a conditioncalled choke, which is atendency to gag or chokewhen swallowing food,and is usually the resultof poorly chewed food,probably arising fromdental issues. Having anequine dentist check

your horse’s teeth priorto the winter months isimportant to ensuringthat she is getting theproper nutrition fromher food — and if not, itwill assist you in deter-mining what changesyou may need to make inyour horse’s diet.

Elder horses have dif-ferent needs than whenthey were younger; they

will require more calo-ries, protein and fat intheir diet than their mid-dle-aged counterparts.And they will do better ifyou can provide themwith fiber in their dietthat is easily digestible,as their digestive systemis less efficient as theyage.

It’s important to feedgood-quality hay to olderhorses, as overly-matureor stemmy hay will bedifficult for their agedteeth to chew and digest.Often keepers of olderhorses will use pelletedor extruded feeds; thesefeeds are cooked in theprocessing, making them

more easily digestible.Some of these feeds arespecially formulated forolder horses, known as“Senior” feeds — whichcontain higher levels ofprotein and fat. In orderto provide more caloriesthat are digestible, youcan add vegetable oil toyour horse’s food. Start

with a tablespoon or twoper day, and work grad-ually up to a cup or twoof oil mixed with yourhorse’s feed. Anotherproduct that is common-ly used is beet pulp,which adds fiber andeasily digestible caloriesto a horses’ diet.

For our elder mares,we purchase shreddedbeet pulp (without mo-lasses) and soak it wellbefore feeding. To thesoaked beet pulp, we adda handful of a good-qual-ity organic feed that doesnot include chemicals,pesticides, soy, corn ormiddlings, but rather de-pends on clean, wholegrains such as oats, bar-ley, peas and flax seed.In addition we add in avitamin/mineral/mi-cronutrient supplementthat helps ensure ourhorses are receiving allthe necessary trace ele-ments, and a productthat contains chondri-otin/glucosamine forkeeping their acheyjoints more comfortable.

In order to keep thoseaches and pains from

worsening, I started aregimen of regular exer-cise 5-6 days a week. Ondays when I didn’t havea buddy to ride with, I’dsaddle up one mare and‘pony,’ or lead the otheralongside for about 30-45 minutes each day. Af-ter a while, I didn’t evenhave to use a lead — themares enjoyed our walkstogether. We’d often endup with a little runningwalk or single-foot (bothare gaited horses)around the arena after anice ride through thepastures and fields —and even without a lead,the second mare wouldduly go through herpaces, following her pas-ture-mate and me first“trotting” around to theleft, then to the right,then coming to a halt inthe center of the arena.The exercise is so help-ful; any stiffness theymay have started outwith on the first few min-utes of the ride slowlywent away, and by ourcool-down they werewalking with ease, not tomention enjoying being

out together and seeingthe sights in the summerpastures and fields.

The mares have beenturned out on pasturefor most of the summer,which provided plenty offree-choice grass, goodexercise, mental well-be-ing and an aid in theirdigestion processes.They are now beginningto come back to the barnfor some hay on cold,rainy evenings as thedays grow shorter andtemperatures drop. Weleave the back door andstall doors open to en-courage them to go inand out, rather than be-ing confined to theirstalls. This prevents hav-ing to deal with puffinessin their legs and stiffjoints; they are muchhappier and more com-fortable in the morningsafter having the opportu-

nity to move around dur-ing the night.

Now that the first frosthas come it’s a goodtime to deworm thehorses. It’s important inolder horses to keep upwith their medical regi-men in order to ward offdiseases or other healthproblems. You shouldhave a schedule for eachhorse that includeswhen she was de-wormed and with whatproduct, when the teethwere examined andfloated, and when thehorse was immunized,with which vaccines.Also keep track of whenyour horse’s feet aretrimmed and/or shod;sound footing can helpprevent lameness issuesin the future.

By monitoring yourelder horses closely, andkeeping them on ahealthy regimen of goodnutrition, daily exerciseand up-to-date deworm-ing and medical care,you will be adding to thequality of their lives; andby taking the time toprovide this extra specialcare, you’ll be able tocarry them through to(hopefully) yet anothergood year.

Students from acrossNew York State let outcries of delight on Satur-day afternoon when oneof their own, Ken Quick,Jr, of Granville, NY, wasnamed the National East-ern Region Vice Presidentof the National FFA Orga-nization. Quick is thefirst student from NewYork to accomplish thistask in 15 years and hisaccomplishments cer-tainly did not begin there.As a freshman in highschool, he helped to beginthe FFA (Future Farmersof America) chapter in hisschool and worked tire-lessly to create a programwhere students, himselfincluded, could succeed.Quick served as theGranville FFA ChapterVice President and Presi-dent, and the New York

State FFA President be-fore being selected to rep-resent the 18 state East-ern region for a comingyear of service.

Ken, currently a sopho-more at Cornell Universi-ty, grew up on a dairyfarm in WashingtonCounty, NY, and wasraised by his parents Kenand Diane Quick. He wasa member of the FutureBusiness Leaders ofAmerica, sports teamsand the Junior HolsteinAssociation before char-tering the FFA program inhis school. FFA AdvisorTerry Wheeler worked tobring agriculture classesto Granville CentralSchool and within a fewshort years, Quick wasleading the 4,000 studentorganization with over 80programs in rural and

metropolitan school dis-tricts. Quick credits hissuccess to the network ofsupport he receivedthrough his involvementin FFA. “Throughout myFFA career, I have beenfortunate… to be sur-rounded by advisors,coaches, peers and evenjunior high members whohave helped to developme into the man I am to-day — a true product ofevery FFA program, part-ner and experience I havehad.”

Ken will be surroundedby a different group, now.As National Vice Presi-dent, Ken and the otherfive new National FFA Of-ficers will travel morethan 100,000 miles inservice. He will travel toJapan, visit agriculturaleducation classrooms

and conventionsthroughout the UnitedStates and visit with leg-islative and agriculturalleaders. At 19, he is seri-ous about the responsi-bilities of the task. “I hadno idea just how muchthis organization wouldconsume my future. FFAgave me the skills to fur-ther my impact… I’ve be-come a passionate advo-cate for the future of agri-culture and for the role ofour generation within thefood, fiber and natural re-sources industries. I’veseen how FFA can changea student, a school and acommunity. Young peo-ple need FFA.” He speakswith a breathlessnessthat makes you realizethis “kid” really gets it,and a passion that makeseven someone who has

just met him realize hehas every intention ofmaking a difference inthe lives of young peopleand in the future of theagriculture industry forthe next 365 days.

In New York, KenQuick, Jr’s election is bignews. For the past fewyears, he’s worked toconnect with as manystudents and agricultur-al leaders as possible inorder to make an impact.Ken’s success meanssomething to the stu-dents in the local PinePlains FFA Chapter.While many of them lookto Quick as a hero thisweek, his accomplish-ment says exactly whathe wanted it to — if hecan do it, they can do it,too.

“Ken is an excellentspeaker, I saw him at theNew York Holstein con-vention in 2009 and wasimpressed with hisspeaking ability” saysSara Murphy, President

of the Pine Plains FFA.“He is very supportive ofthe youth in FFA andagriculture in general, heeven offered to help mewith my DJM book for theHolstein Association, heis a genuinely nice per-son.” says ShannonFletcher, Pine Plains FFAWebmaster.

St. Johnsville, NY,was the place to be onOct. 8, as the sun final-ly shone brightly on theMohawk Valley, and theMohawk Valley FFAhosted their annualTractor & Farm ToyShow — along with theirfirst ever Fritter Supper.

The tractor and toyshow, which has been anannual event for the Mo-hawk Valley FFA for over10 years, highlights agri-culture with displays of

farm toy exhibits, re-stored tractors, live farmanimals and vendors fromaround the state. Thisyear a fritter supper wasan added attraction andfund-raiser for the group.

FFA 3rd year member,Robert Christman, cur-rently President of theMohawk Valley FFA, keptbusy taking care of theanimals on display.

“The calf belongs toour Advisor, Mike Set-tle,” Christman report-ed. “The goats are here

courtesy of the FeaglesFarm — and some fromMike Settle.”

As people began to ar-rive for the fritter supper,Christman moved insidethe building, greetingpeople and helping toserve meals.

Christman and the ap-proximately 20 otherFFA members working atthe show and supperproudly showed off thenewly designed brightyellow FFA tee shirt thatthey were all wearing.“FFA is here to stay!” theshirt proclaimed.

First year FFA memberSabryna Bently, an 11thgrader at St. JohnsvilleCentral School, showed arestored 1953 FarmallSuper M tractor, whichwas brought to the agri-cultural event for exhibi-tion by owner Kyle Hayes.

Bently had moved tothe area from Ohio. Sheexplained why she choseto join the FFA group. “I’velived around farms for thepast four years, and I helpon the farms. I figuredjoining the FFA wouldgive me a wider span ofagricultural education.”

Bentley says the farmshe works on mostly hasrecently been convertedfrom a dairy to crop farm.“A very nice Amish familybought it and now theyare using it mostly to growcrops — hay and corn.”

At the Toy Show anumber of vendors dis-played pressed steel,diecast, toy tractors,model farms, memorabil-ia, and collectibles.

Dan Park from Chitte-nango, NY, had a largevariety of John Deere toytractors for sale, and BobLang from Sloanesville,NY, had his extensive col-lection of Tonka trucksdisplayed.

“I’ve been collectingTonka’s for 25 years,”Lang said, “There’s noth-ing newer here than1961. They’re all fromthe 50s.”

Eigth grader, AaronFrance from Middle-burgh, NY, displayed afarm scene that he hadmade with his dad. “I’vebeen coming here to theFFA Toy Shows since Iwas 6 years old,” Francesaid. Part of his farmscene consisted of an im-pressive number of rowsof corn made from tooth-picks. It was obvious thathours of patience wererequired to complete thetedious task.

Six year-old CarolynLittrell and her brotherBen, who came from theTown of Florida to attendthe event, also displayedimpressive farm scenes.

“They have been play-ing with farm toys sincethey could crawl!”laughed mom Judy Lit-trell. “This is the first yearthey have done the FFAToy Show. They exhibitedat the Fonda Fair forthree years, and nowthey’ve branched out tothe Toy Show.”

BILLSIssued Oct. 21, 2011September milk pro-

duction in the top 23producing states totaled14.76 billion pounds, ac-cording to the Agricul-ture Department’s pre-liminary estimate, up 1.9percent from September2010. The 50-state totalwas 15.8 billion, up 1.7percent. Revisions added17 million pounds to lastmonth’s estimate, result-ing in a 15.3 billionpound total, up 2.3 per-cent from a year ago.

September cow num-bers hit 8.47 millionhead, up 1,000 headfrom August, but101,000 more than ayear ago. Output per cowaveraged 1,742 pounds,up 12 pounds from ayear ago.

Sifting through thedata; the biggest in-crease occurred in Flori-da, up 11.3 percent, fol-

lowed by Texas, up 10.1percent, thanks to20,000 more cows and awhopping 85 pound in-crease per cow. Onlyfour states showed de-clines, the biggest, 4.5percent, was in Missouri,followed by Pennsylva-nia, down 1.5 percent,due to 5,000 fewer cowsand a 10 pound declineper cow.

California output wasonly up 0.6 percent de-spite an additional25,000 cows, but outputper cow was off 15pounds. Wisconsin wasup 1.8 percent on a 30pound gain per cow butcow numbers were un-changed. New York wasup 0.1 percent on a 5pound gain per cowthough cow numberswere down a thousand.Idaho was up 2.9 per-cent on 11,000 morecows and a 20-poundgain per cow. Minnesotawas off 0.7 percent dueto a 15 pound loss forcow. Cow numbers wereup a thousand headfrom a year ago. NewMexico was up 4.4 per-cent on a 13,000 cow in-crease and 5 poundsmore per cow.

USDA’s latest LivestockSlaughter report shows244,600 culled dairycows were slaughteredunder federal inspectionin September, up 2,200from August, and 3,400more than September2010. January-Septem-ber 2011 dairy cowslaughter was estimatedat 2.156 million head, up86,600 from the same pe-riod in 2010.

The cash dairy marketshad little reaction to themilk production data. TheCheddar blocks closedFriday October 21 at$1.72 per pound, up 3cents on the week, and 51/4-cents above a yearago.

The NASS-surveyed U.S.average block price fell to$1.7373, down a penny.The barrels averaged$1.7227, up 1 1/2-cents.

Spot butter closed at$1.86, up 2 1/2-cents onthe week, but 32 1/2-cents below a year ago.Eight were cars sold onthe week. NASS butteraveraged $1.7528 downa half cent. NASS nonfatdry milk averaged$1.5231, down 1.9cents, and dry whey av-eraged 61.93 cents, up1.6 cents, the highestsince August 2007.

Feed prices are expect-ed to remain relatively

high through the end of2011 and into 2012, ac-cording to USDA’s latestLivestock, Dairy, andPoultry Outlook. Cornprices were forecast at$6.20-$7.20 per bushelfor the 2011/12 cropyear, a small reductionfrom September’s fore-cast, and is based onhigher reported carry-instocks and slightly lowerprojected corn exports.

The soybean mealprice forecast was low-ered from September to$335-$365 per ton forthe 2011/12 marketingyear, based on a loweredforecast of soybean ex-ports in October. Prelim-inary estimates put alfal-fa prices at $196 per tonin September in the faceof almost 5 percent lowerproduction in 2011. Sig-nificant relief from thecurrent prices level isnot likely until next

spring, USDA warned.The U.S. dairy herd

continues to expandmore rapidly than antici-pated and is expected toaverage 9.2 million head.Yield per cow has alsorisen more rapidly thananticipated and is fore-cast at 21,300 pounds,an increase from Sep-tember estimates. Thereport said “Output percow may not have beenas diminished by the hotsummer temperaturesas expected.” The 2012dairy herd is expected tocontract to 9.19 millionhead. This forecast rep-resents both a year-over-year decline and adecline from the Septem-ber 2012 forecast.

USDA, and continued expected highalfalfa prices along with lower milkprices will likely stimulate a herd re-duction in 2012. The report said“These fundamentals will also limit therise in output per cow next year, whichis forecast at 21,600 pounds, despitean extra milking day in 2012.

Favorable conditions in Oceania andrising seasonal production are expect-ed to pressure prices and increasecompetition particularly for 2012 U.S.dairy exports.

Milk production in the SouthwestU.S. is trending steady with minor vari-ations, according to USDA. Processingplants are generally running well withsome taking downtime for mainte-nance. Additional volumes of milk aremoving out of the region to supplementneeds towards the Southeast wheremilk output is steady to slightly higher.

Class I needs are high in Florida. Northeast milk production is steady

and at levels where processing sched-ules are light after the good pull forClass I needs. Midwest output is trend-ing lower seasonally in the upper tier ofstates, with the supply often sporadic tofill local orders. Gains are noted insolids of incoming milk. Southern areasaffected by drought are seeing move-ments of milk cows to other states.

The milk production season is off toa great start in the Oceania region.Accounts report New Zealand milk in-takes at up to 13 percent above yearago levels and note that milk pro-curement schedules are tight in get-ting the milk off the farms. Aus-tralian output is also trending up-wards with early season growth levelsreported at 1-4 percent above a yearago, according to USDA.

Dairy product prices are “drifting” inearly season trading. Competition fromU.S. and EU products, weaker Eurovalues, and slower international de-mand are impacting the Oceania re-gion, according to USDA. Supplies arebuilding as milk production seasonbuilds. Processing plants are runningheavy schedules to handle the growingmilk supplies.

The seasonal milk production trendwhich has been lower for Western Eu-ropean countries continues to develop.Weather has been favorable for milkoutput and milk prices remain favor-able for producers. There is discussionabout countries being over quota, whatpenalties could occur, and whether themilk price returns would best anypenalty costs. Dairy product prices andexport options are also being affectedby currency fluctuations making Euro-

pean prices more expensive.Speaking of the international mar-

ket; the CME’s Daily Dairy Report(DDR) says the Global Dairy Trade(Fonterra) auction index increased forthe first time since early June thisweek, moving up 1.7 percent from theprevious event.

Higher prices for skim and wholemilk powder offset declines in anhy-drous milkfat and cheese. The weight-ed average price for SMP was $1.49 perpound, up 3 percent from the October4 auction. SMP from the U.S.(DairyAmerica) averaged $1.38 perpound for November delivery. Theweighted average price for whole milkpowder was $1.59 per pound, up 5.7percent from the previous event.

Anhydrous milkfat dropped 1.7percent, to $1.65 per pound, the low-

est price since AMF came on the auc-tion platform in November 2009.Cheddar cheese for industrial use re-ceived an average winning bid of$1.59 per pound, down 8.4 percent,according to the DDR.

Meanwhile; the United Nations thisweek predicted that the world’s popu-lation will hit 7 billion at the end of thismonth. That means a lot more mouthsto feed but who will provide it and whowill pay for it?

And, speaking of paying for it; theDDR reports that retail milk prices in-creased for the 12th straight month inSeptember. The milk Consumer PriceIndex (CPI) was 151.0, up 13.1 percent

from a year ago, according to the Bu-reau of Labor Statistics. The CheeseCPI jumped nearly 2 percent in Sep-tember to a record high 227.1, and nowsits 10.2 percent above a year ago.

Fluid milk prices may be comingdown if retailers pass along the de-crease that the Agriculture Depart-ment announced in the Federal orderClass I base price. The NovemberClass I mover is $18.45 per hundred-weight, down $1.11 from October but$1.21 above November 2010, andequates to about $1.59 per gallon.That pulled the 2011 average to$19.19, up from $15.21 at this time ayear ago, and compares to $11.25 in

2009. The Class IV advanced pricingfactor was the “higher of” in drivingthe Class I value. Sources tell methat, unless there’s a big surprise inNovember corn, soybean, and alfalfaprices, there’ll likely be no MILC pay-ment to producers in November.

The NASS butter price averaged$1.7552 per pound, down 23.4 centsfrom October. Nonfat dry milk averaged$1.5328, down 1.3 cents. Cheese aver-

aged $1.7437, down 9.1 cents and drywhey averaged 61.21 cents, up 2.2 cents.

In politics; “the cheese got morebinding” this week, as they say (whoev-er they are) as a bill has been intro-duced to actually stop legislation thatcontains the main elements of Nation-al Milk’s Foundation for the Futuredairy reform proposal.

The InternationalDairy foods Association(IDFA) praised SenateAmendment 872, “Stopthe Peterson Bill,” intro-duced by Senator KirstenGillibrand (D-NY). AnIDFA press release said“The amendment willprevent implementationof a controversial supply

management program forthe dairy industry, of-fered by Rep. Collin Pe-terson (D-MN), that wehave learned will be in-cluded in the recommen-dations of the House andSenate Agriculture Com-mittees to the Joint Se-lect Committee on DeficitReduction.”

Gillibrand’s amend-ment would block a re-quirement that produc-ers participate in a pro-gram to limit supply ifthey enroll in a new rev-enue insurance pro-gram, according to thepress release, adding;“No other U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture farmsupport or insuranceprogram is tied to amandate requiring par-ticipation in a govern-ment supply- manage-ment program.”

“IDFA opposes allforms of supply manage-ment,” the press releasesaid. “Previous govern-ment efforts, includingpeanut allotments, to-bacco allotments, andgrain allotments havefailed. The 1983 dairy di-version program failed,and ended up costingtaxpayers billions of dol-lars. Congress tried andfailed again in 1985 byauthorizing a dairy herdbuyout program aimedat limiting milk supplyby removing cows fromproduction. We shouldlearn from our past mis-takes and not go downthat road again.”

Dairy Profit Weekly ed-itor Dave Natzke said inhis Friday DairyLine re-port that there are nowat least five bills intro-duced in Congress ad-dressing dairy policy re-forms, either as stand-

alone bills, or as dairyplatforms in 2012 FarmBill proposals and, whilemany of the dairy pro-posals have some com-mon reforms, supplymanagement remains atthe heart of much of thecontroversy,” and “Com-plicating the matter aredebates over the federalbudget and efforts to re-duce federal deficits.”This week, the Senatewas considering a pack-age of appropriationsbills for fiscal year 2012,which started Oct. 1.

In addition, a 12-mem-ber Joint Select Commit-tee on Deficit Reduction,the so-called “SuperCommittee,” is chargedwith finding $1.5 trillionin debt savings over thenext 10 years, Natzkesaid. That committee hasuntil November 23 topropose ways to reducedeficits and Congressmust vote on those pro-posals by December 23.

Congressional leaders,including bipartisanHouse and Senate agcommittee leaders, areforwarding program rec-ommendations to the Su-per Committee, identify-ing programs that mighthelp address federaldeficits. Reports indicatethe Peterson Bill may beadvanced to the SuperCommittee for inclusionin deficit-reductionplans, Natzke concluded.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —U.S. Senators Charles E.Schumer and KirstenGillibrand on Oct. 20 in-troduced legislation thatwould make intentional-ly mislabeling food prod-ucts as “maple syrup” afederal crime.

“Maple farmers acrossNew York state producesome of the highest qual-ity syrup in the world,”said Senator Schumer.“We need to crackdownon individuals trying topass off fake syrup asthe real thing, so thatour farmers can competefair and square. The onlything that should beflowing over mom’s pan-

cakes is good, pure, NewYork maple syrup.”

“New York is the sec-ond largest producer ofmaple syrup in the U.S.,and we shouldn’t allowproduction to be ham-pered by fraudulent be-havior,” Senator Gilli-brand said. “This bill en-sures that producers of

real maple syrup can selltheir product in an hon-est market and that con-sumers know whatthey’re paying for.”

The bill is being intro-duced in response to arecent U.S. Food andDrug Administration in-

Reinventing has been away of life for most suc-cessful farm machinerymanufacturers. In mostcases the changes werenot made to gain marketshare but to ensure thesurvival of the company.It took courage to makethe radical changes thatmany looked on as fool-ish, and good marketingcampaigns to introducethe changes to the farm-ers of the day. As we allknow farmers have gonefrom horses to some ofthe most sophisticatedequipment known toman in a mere 100 years.

During that time manycompanies were born butfew survive today. Let’slook at some of the rein-ventions that some of the

companies took.The most notable rein-

vention took place Aug.30, 1960 in Dallas,Texas. John Deere an-

nounced to the worldtheir new 4 and 6 cylin-der powered tractors.This was a gamble thatno one could have pre-

dicted the outcome andit turned into a hugesuccess for John Deerewith more than 400,000new tractors sold in thenext decade. Becausethis reinvention hap-pened during most ofour lifetimes, it is theone most of us knowabout, but it is not theonly one. In the days of

the agricultural steamtraction engines therewere many companiesthat did not survive thetransition to smaller,lighter machines andfaded into the sunset asthe age of steam ended.

One survivor was J.I.Case and Company.S&L Builders LLC

Even though the demandfor steam traction en-gines was still strong,Case developed a tractorand started productionin 1912. This reinventionmoved Case into the in-ternal combustion age.The engine on the earli-est tractors was mount-ed cross ways. This de-sign served Case well,but the changing indus-try necessitated thechange to inline enginesin 1929.

Some companies triedto reinvent themselvesand failed. The Massey-Harris 4 wheel drive isan example. The tractorwas manufactured from1930 to 1938 inMassey’s first attempt atmanufacturing a tractorto fit the row crop mar-ket. As a 4-wheel drivethe tractor was 50 yearsto early. Massey-Harrisalso reinvented it self in1938 when the new trac-tors introduced that yearhad an engine on framedesign rather than theoil pan of the engine be-ing part of the frame.The unibody designcame to Massey with thepurchase of the Walliscompany in 1928.Massey-Harris contin-ued until 1953 when itacquired the FergusonCompany. The originalintent was to maintaintwo separate equipmentlines. This proved un-workable and in 1957the reinvented MasseyFerguson tractors wereintroduced. Diesel en-gines were supplied by F.Perkins Company Ltd.,which had been recentlyacquired. These twochanges led to MasseyFerguson becoming oneof the worlds’ largesttractor manufacturers.

Henry Ford introducedthe 2n in 1939 to theAmerican market. Thisreplaced the Model Nand earlier model Fwhich were similar. Withthe addition of the Fer-guson System of 3-pointhitch with draft controlthe smaller 9n was thereinvention that Fordneeded to increase mar-ket share. Over 272,0009n and 2n were builtfrom 1939 to 1946.

The International Har-vester company wasformed in 1902. It isunique that no steamtraction engine was evermarketed by Interna-tional Harvester. Theearliest tractors from In-ternational Harvesterwere large and heavy.At-tempts in the teens andtwenties to develop asmall all around tractorled to the 10-20 and 15-30, but these were the

same design as everyoneelse of the day. The rein-vention of the tractorcame with the introduc-tion of the Farmall Regu-lar in 1924.This tractorwith a tricycle stance al-lowed for row crop farm-ing with a tractor for thefirst time. This was thefirst row-crop tractortested in Nebraska. In-ternational Harvesterand J.I. Case merged in1984 to form Case Inter-national and reinvent it-self once more.

Oliver Corporation

reinvented itself when itunveiled the Oliver Hart-Parr model 70 Row Cropin 1935. This was thefirst Oliver tractor to usea 6 cylinder high com-pression. Also side pan-els were added to enclosethe engine when mostother manufacturershad discontinued them.The enclosed engine de-sign would identify mostOliver models until theintroduction of the Su-per Series in 1954.

The next reinvention in-volving Oliver was the

purchase of Oliver byWhite Motors along withMinneapolis Moline andCockshutt. The result wasthe White Tractor intro-duced in 1974. The late1970’s would see WhiteMotor Company in bank-ruptcy selling the WhiteFarm Equipment Divisionto an investment firm inTexas The next new own-er in the reinventing ofWhite was Allied Productsof Chicago, also the ownerof New Idea.

Tropical Storms Irene and Lee left massive flooddamage in their wakes across huge sections of NewYork State.

Counties from the northeast corner to the southeast re-gion and central New York have experienced flood damage.The devastation of the flooding has displaced 4-H’ers, CCEemployees and volunteers. 4-H families have lost buildingsand equipment. 4-H members and entire clubs have lostanimals, barns, and materials needed to care for their an-imals. Some County fairgrounds have sustained majordamage to 4-H/Youth buildings, barns and pens.

You can help 4-H’ers get back on their feet and their 4-H programs get moving again.

Donate to the 4-H Flood Relief Campaign through theNew York State 4-H Foundation.

4-H in the following counties can be helped by dona-tions to this campaign: Broome County, Clinton County,Essex County, Fulton/Montgomery Counties, SaratogaCounty, Schoharie County, Sullivan County, Tioga Coun-ty and Ulster County.

Donors may designate gifts to a particular county orcounties. Any undesignated gifts will be divided equallyamong the above counties.

Donations may be made:• Online via credit card by visiting the New York State 4-

H Foundation Web site at: 4-H Flood Relief. In the “Des-ignation” box, please state “Flood Relief” and the name ofany county/counties where you want your gift to go.

• By mail – via credit card or check. The Web site in-cludes a 4-H Flood Relief donation form that can be down-loaded. Mail the form, with your check if paying by check,

to the Foundation at 248 Grant Ave., Suite II-A, Auburn,NY 13021.

• By phone via credit card — call the Foundation Officeat 315-702-8242 with your credit card information andthey will process your gift.

Donations to the New York State 4-H Foundation aretax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.

For more information, contact the Foundation at 315-702-8242 or esearle@nys4hfoundation.org.

The 4-H Flood Relief Fundraising Campaign is a part-nership effort between the New York State 4-H Foundationand New York State 4-H.

The Allis Chalmers company was taken over byDeutz of Germany in May of 1985. The new compa-ny known as Deutz-Allis would be a subsidiary ofKlocker-Humboldt-Deutz. The hope was that thismerger would lead to a greater presence in the U.S.for Deutz. A true reinvention that failed was thechange from orange to green. Farmers in the U.S.wanted orange paint. The air cooled engines fromDeutz were not popular with American farmers.When AGCO was formed in 1990 and purchased theassets of Duetz-Allis the Allis orange paint returnedto North America along with more familiar liquidcooled engines.

The last reinvention to discuss is the announce-ment that the Allis Orange will go away yet again.AGCO has announced the consolidation of brands inNorth America to just two tractor brands. The twowill be Massey Ferguson and Challanger. For nativesof Central New York this may seem a bit odd. Neitherof the two brands have ever held a strong presencein this area. Some may even question what the Chal-lenger brand is. Challenger is a brand from Caterpil-lar given to large tractors and a combine they mar-keted. One more attempt to reinvent the farm equip-ment industry.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA— Achieving good preg-nancy rates on a consis-tent basis is a crucialcomponent of a prof-itable dairy enterprise.However, reproduction isaffected by many factors,and consequently evalu-ating a herd to identifythe bottlenecks limitingreproductive perform-ance is a challenge.

The Penn State Repro-duction Drill Down Tool

provides a systematicapproach to critically an-alyze the major factorsaffecting heat detectionrate and conception rateso that problem areascan be highlighted anddiscussed. The tool wasrigorously tested byPenn State Extension ed-ucators and consultantsacross more than 15herds, and then revisedbefore being released.“Several dairymen made

comments to the effectthat they had never beenasked questions relatedto reproductive manage-ment in such an organ-ized manner,” noted Dr.Mike O’Connor, PennState professor emeritusof dairy science, one ofthe original developers ofthe tool.

“The Penn State Re-production Drill DownTool provides a stan-dardized operating pro-

cedure for comprehen-sively evaluating afarm’s reproductiveprogram,” explains Dr.James Delahoy, a nu-tritionist who has usedthe tool on some of theherds he works with.“Using the Reproduc-tion Drill-Down Tool isan effective and effi-cient way to identifyand to work to resolvebottlenecks in a repro-ductive program,” notes

Delahoy. The tool incor-porates easy-to-accessDHIA information anduses common terminol-ogy, he says, adding: “Itprovides a standardplatform for communi-cation between farmers,consultants, and uni-versity experts.”

The drill down toolasks a series of “triggerquestions” that indicatewhether conception rate,heat detection rate or

both are the greatestcontributors to low preg-nancy rates. Answers tothe drill down questionshighlight areas requiringattention to improve per-formance. Drill downquestions are dividedinto two general cate-gories — factors affectingheat detection rate andfactors related to con-ception rate — and thenare broken down intomore specific categories:ineffective heat detec-tion, anestrous cows,confinement and footing,heat stress, estrous syn-chronization program,inaccurate heat detec-tion, artificial insemina-tion technique, ration orfeeding management is-sues, reproductivehealth, and environmen-tal issues.

Each area of reproduc-tion management is as-signed a “risk level”based on the answerschosen. Categories thatare assigned a higherrisk level indicate anarea to focus on whenmaking changes to im-prove reproductive per-formance.

Farm data from 2009and 2010 is being col-lected through the PennState Profitability As-sessment Dairy Toolfrom Pennsylvania dairyoperations by RebeccaWhite of the Penn StateExtension Dairy Team.According to White, pre-liminary data revealsthat two-thirds of thefarms had an economicloss due to low pregnan-cy rates and high aver-age days in milk (DIM)had a greater economicloss per cow.

Higher average DIM fora herd can signal a re-productive problem andcan lead to lower lifetimeproduction per cow fur-ther reducing herd prof-itability. For example, adairy herd with an aver-age of 192 DIM and agross milk price of$20.50, the estimatedloss from the increasedDIM (192 vs. 185)$89.04 per cow per year.For a 250 cow herd, thetotal loss would be$22,260 per year.

The Reproductive DrillDown tool is a componentof the Profitability Assess-ment Dairy Tool (PA DairyTool) and can be accessedonline at no cost atwww.das.psu.edu/re-s e a r c h - e x t e n s i o n /dairy/pa-tool/identifying-bottlenecks-to-higher-dairy/ For more informa-tion, contact the PennState Extension DairyTeam toll-free at 888-373-7232.
